FX FX Panthera .177 cal

120 bar with 3.0 - 3.5 on the micro adjuster shoots 10.4 JTS very well. That's put it about 20 ft/lbs.

There's only one adjust for the hammer spring tension and the scale on the micro adjuster is what matters. The larger power wheel just moves the adjuster in larger increments.

FX has said the AMP Gen II reg is good up to about 170-180Bar. But I doubt you will have the need to go anywhere close to that in a 177 Panthera.

What is your barrel length? That will also be a factor with your reg setting. But @EDventure tune gets you started.

Viking airgunner just put a 700 mm barrel on his panthera, and made a video on youtube about it too.

The 120 BAR mentioned above seem like a lot, i have shot 13 grain Zan slugs @ 960 fps in my 700 mm Maverick with just 70 BAR.
That also with dual transfer port and pin probe.
In my current 700 mm Epic airguns Two i shoot 16 grain Zan slugs at 90 - 100 BAR, also at a speed around +960 fps
I have just tried 24 grain Zan slugs in my Two, and here i was at 140 BAR, well at least to really get them going,
At distance 93 M / 100 yards at high speed the 24 grain arrive at target tumbling, same go with 20 grain but shooting those at a slower speed down around 900 fps they arrive correctly orientated.
The 24 grain slugs was working good at 55 M though, as in i was shooting branches off a tree limb put in front of the back stop, ranging from very thin ones to more massive ones around 1 inch in diameter that did take several hits to break, well at least in this fairly fresh cut off tree limb.
And i must have been fairly grouping CUZ in the end i made a hole in the 20 foot container, and they are after all not made of the thinnest possible metal.
Og course in a shorter rifle, you do need to kick the ammo harder to be able to get it up to speed in the shorter " runway "
EDIT: in my Maverick, shooting at that super low pressure was not the most accurate, i had more success going up around 90 BAR.
